Dire Disaster.

PORT Deposit, Nd, Jan. 27.-The ice in
the Susquehanna north of Port Deposit
began breaking up at 2:sO o'clock yesterday
afternoon and piling up opposite this place,
which forced the water back upon the
town in a frightful manner. In thirty
minutes the water had attained depth of
from five to six feet in the main street,
running with swift current and carrying
with it ice, fences, lumber and debris gen.
orally. All the residences on the lower
side of the street, with few exceptions,
were flooded with from three to five feet of
water on the first floors. Not more than
three or four families living on that side
remained in their houses last night. No
estimate of the damage is possible. The
reports from up the river are that heavy
ice Is coming down in immense quantities
and that the worst is not yet is the general

no letters were received and forwarded un-

nor could any have been so received and

why should anyone request Mr. Washburn
to forward letters at 81 apiece, when there
was ar egular bi-weekly mail service
by balloon at the regular French postal
rates? There never was any diff
Guilty in getting letters out of Paris The
difficulty was to get them in. Mr. DewOes-
tyne suggests that spies might have sent
their letters through our bags. Mr.. De-
wOestyne has evidently a poor opinion of
the intelligence of the German spies. Their
news would have been somewhat stale
when the dispatch bag was opened at the
United States legation in London week
or more after they left Paris. Prince Witt
genstein will no doubt thank Mr.. DEVICES
tyne for the charming part he makes him
play in the story.

do everything in its power to effect sat-
isfactory settlement of the dispute. The
dominion of Canada had assumed most
moderate attitude on this subject. The
policy of England had ever been to main
tain its colonial rights, but in this case
there were two countries honestly desirous
OF arriving at a settlement, and no effort
would be spared to effect that settlement
in a fair, equitable and amaiable spirit.

A CANADIAN OPINION.
TORONTO, Jan. 27.-The Mail says the
foreign office will make show of protect
ing our right, but the capital consideration
with Lord Salisbury will be not the justice
of our cause so much as the necessity for
maintaining cordial relations with the
United States. 1t may be taken for granted
then, that whatever form the settlement
with the United States may take we, are
sure to get little the worst of the bargain.
Leading American generals appear to be
we'll disposed to reciprocity treaty and
we can conceive of no other method of set
tling the question. The imperial govern
ment is moving in the direction of recip-
rocity.

Popular Father McGlynn.

New YORK, Jan. 27.-The exciting scene
that occurred at st. Stephens church to.
night might have eliminated in a big row
had it not been for the arrival of the police.
The basement Of the church was locked
all day, but the body of the church was
left opened. A large crowd assembled this
evening ana at $50 about 200 women sue
ceeded in forcing their way into the base
ment, where they surrounded DR.. McGlynn
for confessional. DR.. Donnelly went
down stairs and asked them to leave. He
was driven out and called in the police,
who finally succeed in clearing the place.
The women Kissed Donnelly and made fun
of the officers.

pie" of this county and how. he did his ut.
most to save them from being inflicted
with handsome court house, is gratefully
remembered. That he did not succeed was
no fault of his. Even after the "Dickinson
ring" had succeeded in carrying a major
ity of the votes of the county in favor tof
the project, he showed the commissioners
from the eastern districts how they could
easily nullify the result of that action by
just refusing to take any proceedings un.
der it. No blame is attached to him, be-
cause these commissioners did not take his
advice. and if Mr.. Tuttle establishes a
branch office here, the remembrance of
what he has tried to do for Dickinson and
Stark county will insure 1t a warmth not
h0t-reception from the citizens of this
place. 'i' =,
A toboggan club has been organized at
Dickinson. A slide about half a mile long

GIa1stone,s Objections.

LONDON, Jan. 27.-In the house of COM

found no fault with the governments for
eign policy, but he thought that Lord
Salisbury's Mansion house speech was cal
culated to arouse apprehension and the
country was entitled to be reassured. He
strongly objected to the severence of the
treasury portfolio from the premiership,
the former being practically sinicure. He
also objected to the combination of the
Offices of premier and foreign secretary,
which made one man responsible for the
dictation of momentous foreign dispatches.
Hitherto the foreign policy had been
Jointly conducted by the premier and the

SENATE.
THE FISHERIES BILL.

J. WASHINGTON. Jan. M.-At los the SEN
ate, on motion of Mr.. Edmunds, proceeded
to the consideration of the senate bill to
authorize the president of the United States
to protect and defend the rights of Amer
ican fishing vessels, American trading and
other vessels in certain cases. Mr.. Hoar
suggested the question of the words "or un-
justly vexed or harassed therein, by the
authorities theref." He thought the
bill would be much safer if it
contained that general phraseology.
Mr.. ingalls, said fishery difficulties must
ultimately be settled, either by negotiation
or by war. This measure was distinctly
one Of retaliation. There was feeling of
irritation-the real party in interest being
Great Britain, and not Canada-which was
at any moment, if the present attitude was
continued, liable to lead to discomfort
which might ripen into evaporation, and
this into
OPEN HOSTILITY.
Mr.. Frye 'made very impassioned
speech, declaring that the purpose of the
proposed legislation was to notify Great
Britain that continuance of such course
must be at her peril. He intimated that
the proposed legislation was desired by the
president and the members Of his cabinet.
Mr.. Ingalls, accepted Mr.. Frye's interpre-
tation of the bill as the correct one; it
meant war.
MIR. Frye said he believed that the presi-
dent had at heart the honor and dignity of
the great republic over which he presided.
He believed the president was in favor of
protecting the rights of every American
citizen. Aye, more, he believed that he
was an honest man, and if this law was
passed the power which it would put into
! his hands would be used for
THE PROTECTION OF AMERICAN RIGHTS
Mr.. Ingalis-Tbis trouble has got to be
settled so far as this bill is concerned either
by diplomacy or by blood. England has
always been ruffian, coward and bully
among the nations of the earth; Insolent

scringing and obsequious to the strong
Her history for centuries has been record
of crime against the human race.
Mr.. Evarts argued in support of the bill,
which he said was not in the nature of a
menace or tending at all in that direction.
It was the duty Of congress, he said, to take
the subject away from local disturbance,
Irritation and resentment.
as Mr.. Hale declared himself earnestly in
favor of the bill. Its provisions were not
harsh but moderate, not rash but well
considered.
The bill passed by vote of 46 to l.

Shooting Mt Dead Bodies.

Paris dispatch TO the London Daily Telegraph. J
Some curious experiments, which are
likely to be productive of practical re-
suits of great interest to army surgeons
and military men generally, have just
been made here by NJ. Chauvel, OF the
Society Of Surgery. 1t appears that
Nj. Chauvel tried the effect of the new
repeating and revolvers used in
the army on dead bodies, which he
placed at various distances. The bull
let's of the new French rifle are coated
with steel the interior being OF lead.
They are thirty-four millimetres long,
with diameter of eighty millimetres,
their weight being sixteen grams. In
shape they are cylindrical, with steel
point at one end. Their rate of speed
is $50 metres per second. Nj. Chauyel,
when firing at bodies from ten TO
fifteen metres distant, found that the
wounds inflicted in the intestines were
all mortal, Just as is the case with
the leaden bullets of the Gras
rifle. which is being supplanted
bv the new arm. The osseous injuries
were variable, as the bullets happened
